84.02 8 - fix a file leaking bug in eg/mhyttpd that would allow
9 downloading of any file (reported by oesi).
10 - support Broadcast option in Coro::Socket (patch by Richard Hundt,
11 apparently having loads of fun with that).
12 - implement $state->swap_defsv, ->swap_defav and document ->throw.
13
144.4 Wed Feb 13 16:44:29 CET 2008
15 - only assume .cfi pseudo isns exist on GNU/Linux.
16 - add get_timed method to Coro::Channels.
17 - fixed Coro::Debug manpage.
18 - perl 5.11 compatbility improvement based on patch by
19 Andreas König.
20
214.37 Sun Jan 20 11:25:23 CET 2008
22 - soften the check for an active parser for perl 5.10 (avoiding
23 "Coro::State::transfer called while parsing" in many cases).
24
254.36 Sun Jan 13 10:53:56 CET 2008
26 - reset diehook when terminating from an async_pool as to not
27 trigger any __DIE__ handlers.
28
294.35 Sun Jan 13 04:14:13 CET 2008
30 - "bt" debug command now displays any exceptions
31 from longmess and also skips the innermost
32 stackframes, giving more useufl output.
33 - allow backtraces in coroutines blocked in Coro::EV,
34 at a <1% speed hit.
35 - handle localising of $SIG{__WARN__} and __DIE__
36 properly (with a proper amount of dirty hacking).
37
384.34 Sat Dec 22 17:49:53 CET 2007
39 - upgrade to EV version 2.0 API.
40
414.33 Mon Dec 17 08:36:12 CET 2007
42 - make Coro::AIO etc. loadable in the absence of EV.
43
444.32 Mon Dec 17 07:46:02 CET 2007
45 - majorly improved Coro::Handle's performance with Coro::EV.
46 - implemented the until now mythical Coro::BDB module.
47 - specialcase EV in Coro::AIO and Coro::BDB for extra speed.
48
494.31 Wed Dec 5 12:32:39 CET 2007
50 - remove warn statement form Coro::Util.
51
524.3 Tue Dec 4 20:33:14 CET 2007
53 - calls to the idle function could cause stack corruption
54 when the stack changed.
55 - do no longer rely on the presence of EV::DNS if EV is used
56 (because it is gone), but instead take avdantage of EV::ADNS
57 if available.
58 - add ($) prototypes to all functions in Coro::Storable.
59 - use a conventional (safer) idle callback in Coro::EV.
60 - do accept quickly in Coro::Debug to avoid endless loops.
61
624.22 Fri Nov 30 16:04:04 CET 2007
63 - really use optimised versions for Event and EV in Coro::Util
64 and Coro::Handle.
65
664.21 Sun Nov 25 10:48:59 CET 2007
67 - fix a spurious memory read.
68 - Coro::EV no longer keeps the eventloop "alive".
69
704.2 Fri Nov 9 20:47:05 CET 2007
71 - enable/disable tracing from a new coroutine, not a pooled one.
72 - fix a memleak in Coro::Event.
73 - removed killall call from fork_eval.
74 - made sure store_fd is already loaded so that fork_eval
75 does not have to parse autoload in each subprocess.
76 - only use assembly method if -O switch is in $Config{optimize}.
77 - add (optional) Coro::EV module, so far the best event loop module
78 directly supported by Coro.
79 - if the event model is EV, use EV::DNS to resolve
80 stuff in Coro::Util.
81 - don't get confused by multiple event notifications in Coro::Handle.
82 - initial support for EV (libevent interface).
83 - require Event and EV using configure_requires, to force their existance.
84
854.13 Wed Oct 24 07:26:45 CEST 2007
86 - add Coro::Storable::blocking_thaw.
87 - use a vastly more complicated technique to localise
88 $SIG{__WARN/DIE__} that also works on perls <= 5.8.8.
89 - use a coroutine for the idle callback Coro::Event,
90 instead of running Event in the current coroutine context.
91 This also catches recursive invocations.
92 - actually report fork errors in gethostbyname and inet_aton.
93
944.11 Thu Oct 11 02:40:24 CEST 2007
95 - port to threaded perls.
96
974.1 Thu Oct 11 02:38:16 CEST 2007
98 - incompatible change: $SIG{__DIE__} and $SIG{__WARN__} will now
99 be local to each coro (see Coro::State).
100 - incompatible change: for very deep reasons, cede and cede_notself
101 cannot return anything, so nothing will be returned.
102 - possibly bring back 5.10 compatibility (untested).
103 - work around stupid (and wrong) warning on 5.10 :(.
104 - overlay the saved state over the context stack. This saves
105 a few hundred bytes per coroutine on average and also
106 speeds up context switching a bit.
107 - further tune default stack sizes.
108 - (more) correctly calculate stack usage in coro_rss.
109 - Coro::Storable::blocking_* did not properly lock
110 resulting in races between coroutines.
111 - added Coro::Storable::guard.
112 - stopping to trace a coroutine could destroy the cctx of
113 an unrelated coroutine.
114 - explain the relationship between Perl and C coroutines in
115 more detail in Coro::State.
116 - Coro::Util::inet_aton did not short-circuit dotted quad forms,
117 causing a fork per resolve. This also affected Coro::Socket.
118 - switch to a separate stack in $coro->call/eval to avoid
119 invalidating pointers.
120
1214.03 Sat Oct 6 21:24:00 CEST 2007
122 - added Coro::throw method.
123 - minor code cleanups.
124
1254.02 Sat Oct 6 02:36:47 CEST 2007
9 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference). 126 - fix a very minor per-coroutine memleak (a single codereference).
127 - fixed a bug where the currently in-use c context would be freed
128 prematurely (can happen only when programs change the stacksize
129 or use tracing).
130 - tracing can no longer keep a coro alive after it terminated.
131 - do static branch prediction in the common path for gcc. gives
132 about 2-5% speed improvement here.

114.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007 1344.01 Fri Oct 5 22:10:49 CEST 2007
12 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply 135 - instead of recreating *a* standard output handle we simply
13 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust. 136 use STDOUT, which is faster and hopefully more robust.
